Wigan Athletic quiz question

[Eric the Half a Bee]

Our record against Wigan is pretty dreadful - 6 wins in 29 attempts and only 2 wins in Wigan in 14 visits. Can you name the 6 Cardiff City managers who have managed a win over Wigan Athletic?

Lawrence, Malky, Dave Jones?

Lawrence, Malky, Dave Jones?

Those would have been my first 3 choices, too. Malky and Jones never faced Wigan with us as they were in the Premier League at the time. Lennie's side faced Wigan 6 times - drawing 3 and losing 3.

Bugger.

1 draw, 1 defeat. It was a 4-0 defeat up there not long after we beat Leeds which ended up costing him his job.

Was Ollies first game against Wigan in the cup? I just recall thinking at half time wtf is he trying to do here ?
Anyway I think we beat them a year or 2 later, probably under Russell Slade?

We lost that cup tie but we beat Wigan at the start of the next season when Maynard scored. You're also right about Slade, but it was later that season - the only time we've managed the double over them.

Len Ashurst is right.

[fugsyphil]

Have seen us win at their ground with a belting goal from gunnarsson think Slade was in charge. Pretty sure we did the double over them that year so will also guess OGS

Oh just read the rest of the thread so have added nothing new sorry

[MOZZER2]

Len Ashurst is right.

We first played Wigan in 1982.

[MOZZER2]

in that case

Phil Neale
russell osman
bobby gould

[Geraint Pillock]

Kenny Hibbitt? I seem to remember thumping them the season they'd signed Martinez and the two other Spaniards.

Barrel coming up trumps. Neal and Osman are correct.

Phil Neal was in charge for that one. We won 3-0 in March 1996. Since then we've managed 3 1-0 wins against them.

[Eric the Half a Bee]

Final clue. The missing win happened in 1985.

[MOZZER2]

alan durban !

[Eric the Half a Bee]

alan durban !

Yes!

Now if you'd have said that the 6 City managers that have beaten Wigan were Durban, Neal, Ashurst, Osman, Solskjaer and Slade you'd think someone was taking the piss!

[MOZZER2]

the morale of the story all post 1982 !

They’ve only been a League club since 1978

They’ve only been a League club since 1978

Think this was around the period when Bangor City were vying for promotion (I guess election) to the FL.
